Dude, tell me you are not this dumb. here's the video and a searchable transcript https://www.c-span.org/video/?c4864096/dr-deborah-birx-modeling
>>>>>>>>>And what about it exactly? she says
"There is no model right now -- no reality on the ground where we can see that 60% to 70% of Americans are going to get infected in the next eight to 12 weeks. I want to be clear about that."
???Oh???
so you have no models that say that ANDDDDD you have no data on the ground that indicates that that is happening? Okayyyy???? WHAT?
We also have no data that there is a giant sea monster attack in Florida AND we have no studies that say that... like what??????? I said "go find ONE example of someone credible saying that shit."
This is not what i asked for, this is someone from the Trump administration SAYING that someone in the media is saying that + a bunch of word salad nonsense.
Come on man, ALLL the media reports of doom and gloom claiming millions will die in the usa! (supposedly)
Use your GO-TO sources for news that you claim are liars. CNN NBC ABC MSNBC You know! It should be easy to find a clip from them from this time period claiming this. After all, you got your information straight from the trump administration, so it's VERY reliable.
============
============
Let's be real here. You got this idea from the Trump admin, and the people at that podium. I appreciate you ferreting out the origin of this information, really. I dig that you went and found something close to someone saying that t5here will be X many million deaths, but at some point, you have to admit that YOU GOT YOUR INFORMATION FROM PEOPLE THAT ARE NOT BEING HONEST.

Looks like YouTube have delete the video. so here is a link.

Yeah ive become more cynical in my view of these types. It seems that its' always "the rules apply to everyone except me getting more stuff" and is rooted more simply in the idea that they are selfish.
Gov benefit for everyone? THAT'S SOCIALISM AND WHAT NEXT NAZIS? WHAT? YOU WANT EVERYONE TO HAVE EVERYTHING FOR FREE? THEN WHAT? NO ONE WORKS? NANNY STATE? STATISM!!! TYRRANY!!!"
Gov benefit for me? Well... I'm gettin' mine...OF COURSE.

I'll get back to you after reading, but i actually cringed when my dad sent me a video read by some computer generated voice he said he listens to daily.
I found some interesting reports today about republicans faking hundreds of local news sites to pass propaganda as news in swing states... expect Trumpites to use them as a reference to back up some of their ridiculous fact free propaganda....
Google "metric media, fake local news"

And now he's rekindling the iran war to stay in power. Who left the iran nuclear agreement?
Now a bombing and they attacked our embassy. I thought we had to stop endless wars?

This is the best part https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/executive-order-imposing-certain-sanctions-event-foreign-interference-united-states-election/
Hilariously it's actually only the summary of the so far unreleased word for word transcript ....and still it totally shows the president in his official capacity asking for foreign political help in the form of a baseless investigation of his political rival by a foreign leader.
One wonders what's in the word for word transcript they continue to hide that would make releasing this damming summary seem smart by comparison.

I was in tears for months when I saw that, but I had to keep it together and keep raising my little girl. So I'd be doing finger paints with a happy face and then disappear into the bathroom and weep for a bit. It was a pretty dark time in my life.
The research and trials they are doing are a testament to modern medicine and science though. The doctor who is doing the trial with us dramatically changed the course of my family's life. Click here if you want to feel better about all that: https://fightnpc.com/en/drug_trials
Just LOOK at what a difference it makes in other mammals, and they already see very similar results in humans they are testing on. They've managed to nearly halt the progression of symptoms in most patients.

One last thing,
I've been thinking about other word pairings that are very similar in phonetic pronunciation, spelling, and meaning. I came up with a few, but, for an example, consider the following:
Think about the difference between the words "sit" and "set"
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/sit
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/set
I can set something on a table.
Or
I can sit something on a table.
But!
If I were to say
"I sit my cactus on the table."
It sounds awkward, less natural compared to:
"I set my cactus on the table."
I assume this is because "sitting" usually refers to a person or other conscious something.
I can say
"I set my son on the table."
OR
"I sit my son on the table."
and have them be allllllllllllmost interchangeable.
Still, the difference remains. The subtle difference in meaning requires that the words differ, expanding and exacting our communication.
If Jinx really meant to say that there was a pool of human saliva that the comments were drowning in, he should have used a verb phrase in his comment like this:
"the comments are already drowning in a sea of dribbling"

Ahh but don't you see? Even in the poem you quoted, what's more likely the meaning of that line?
"The weather-stains for the dribble"
Is it
"The weather-stains for the saliva"
Or?
"The weather-stains for the slow trickle"
Does the author intend to mean the weather that day is made of saliva or simply water?
I understand the difference is subtle, but that's the reason for a DIFFERENT word.
Keep in mind that Jinx described his own meaning as human saliva.
I would really love you to have persuaded me that I was wrong, but I really think the two words are just too closely related.
I did come across the wonderful descriptive phrase "brain-dribble" from Henry Duff Traill, but not in a sense that helps either of us.
I also came across a Henry Lawson poem, One Hundred and Three, from 1908, which includes this passage:
Clearly dribble isn't often used as a noun, and a look at google books found it more often as a name than as a noun, but it is such a close synonym to drivel and slavver that I remain unconvinced that you can't... as much as, like I said, I would love you to have convinced me and for Jinx to have been wrong.

I agree. It's mostly because the studios don't want to do anything rated R.
What's with the horrible super-hero movies that won't go away?

Yeah, I think Warner Bros is clamping down on it. Do any of these work for you, and I'll swap the embed...
